A fabulous run with Hester, Gavin and Harry yesterday sussing out the route of the
Frostbite 30, an ultra race that we're doing on 7th December. Cutting a long story short the route does Nidderdale bottom to top, front and sideways, starting from Pateley Bridge. We got sidetracked watching a red kite that was dive bombing a grouse (that's our excuse anyway) and took a wrong turning on the moors, leading to us adding 3.5 miles to the 30. But that was just 10% more fun for free (yeah, right!). All the same a lovely route following trails and cart tracks all the way round and, worryingly for race day, pretty much all runnable, dagnabit!
A fine ending to a solid week's running for me and Harry too. After 22 ish miles Monday to Friday, Saturday's
10 miler up Ingleborough and 33.5 yesterday, we near as damn it clocked up 66 miles with 9,500 feet of ascent thrown in.
